Side View Mirror Advice

My truck was originally equipped with the mirror you see in the first photo. I had nothing but trouble with them because:
1. They wobble so much in the wind above 60MPH they are virtually useless and
2. Because they wobble so much, the mirror eventually rips off from the arm.

For the last few years I've had a set of chrome/plastic AutoZone mirrors attached where the 3 boltholes for the originals where. But they look cheap and now that I'm repainting the truck I want something that looks better.

I wouldn't mind reusing the original mirrors if someone has found a mirror that is more stable and won't break off in the wind. Maybe there is something better than the Wal-Mart mirrors I kept replacing the old ones with.

I've thought about filling in the holes in the door and going with the later model truck mirror in the second photo.

What do you think?
